Fascinating process, thanks for documenting!
Congratulations Ed. Can’t wait to see the future videos.
Fascinating! Dying to hear how the Tweeks feel for you out on the road - amazing that a tiny change in cleat position can make a positive difference - enjoy your new bike & position - bring on the next video👍
I'd been a bit negative about my bike fit as it didn't really tell me anything revolutionary, but you're quite right actually that just having the peace of mind knowing your good bike is set up absolutely optimally for you is a brilliant thing. Like your slight cleat adjustment, I had a very slight saddle position adjustment and now riding my best bike is like putting on a comfortable pair of trainers, so actually even that small change has made a huge difference, really good to appreciate. Looking forward to seeing the new bike!
Oooo Nice partnership, all well deserved and long may it continue, can't wait to see the new bike 😍👌
Great video Ed! Congrats on the partnership, looking forward to watching you ride it in North Wales
Great video Ed with interesting detail. That was a long drive to Hethel for you, not too far away from me. You should of popped next door and borrowed a Lotus👏🚴♂️
Fantastic news Ed. I hope the new Bike and Partner bring you many years of joy and success 😀😀. Micro adjustments can be the final piece of the puzzle for you too. I remember getting some new running shoes a couple of years back and the right shoe was bruising my foot at the top of the big toe. Turned out to be a single piece of thread. Took that out and magic they were perfect.
Had my ostro for a month from these guys. Best bike I’ve ever ridden. Looks like their bike fit setup has improved from when I was there last year!
Great video ed 👍, Factor bikes look amazing, to many great rides to come 😀
Thank you
Congrats Ed. Seems like after your Instagram post of the wheel the discord already guessed it. If it goes as fast as they look, you'll be in for a treat :)
Congrats on the new partner. I've never seen the ID fit. Looks very detailed. Can't wait to see / hear the feedback once you've ridden the new set up.
Won’t have to wait long for that one Tim!
Sounds like this will be a very happy partnership 👍 looking forward to seeing what bike setup and colour you have gone for 👍
Guessing it's not going to be Joker green 🤣
Much love from the states!
Very nice dude 👌
Future success is FactorED in 🍾👏
Thats sick Ed, Factor are definitely the best looking bike brand and the likes of Dowsett and Froome in ISN-PT love the bikes
Ive never had a bike fit and always done things on feel and in the mirror, i did experiment with raising the saddle slightly and found it caused my strain or pain in my hamstrings, put it back to where i had it and the pain went away with 2 or 3 rides
Nice one Ed. Hopefully a better hill climb season come the autumn.
Forget the hill climb season😂tons of stuff to come before it!
@@edlaverack Definitely. It just lept to mind when you were limited in your last hill climb preparation due to the bike.
Me: *lifts saddle by a millimeter*, my body: "how about some knee pain?"
Ed: *tweaks cleat a tiny bit*, his FTP: "the sky is the limit!"
Bike fit was really interesting. Like you I’ve always ridden on feel & never felt the need for one (if it ain’t broke don’t fix it) but I would quite like one just for confirmation that my current position is OK & as optimal as it could be. Cost is the issue though.
I had a knee pain for a month or two that i couldn’t shift with Cleat adjustments, I tried new dura ace pedals and it went away. Turns out the old shimano pedals had become worn lacked sufficient tension to keep my foot from twisting inwards and outwards on each pedal stroke.
So life tip for anyone - Beware of cheap pedals
UK's own Phil Gaimon 👍
I’m super jealous. A Factor O2 is like my dream bike.. If you need a home for when you get your next bike partner let me know 😂😂
Congratulations Ed, very well deserved, and wish great success for what is unfolding. Chapeau 👏
Patience is key🙏🏼
I did ID MATCH FITTING because my ends numb..but still numb…how can I resolve my problem!? 🙏🏼
Do you feel a difference between the cheaper selle and the carbonio?
Hi, what groupset are looking to use?
North Wales on a new bike to break it in? Cool to see the bike fit process and excited to see you on the factor!
Yes🤭👀
@@edlaverack YES! By the end of Bwlch-y-Groes and the Cowlyd you should have a good feel for a new bike 😂
@@nickbrownbill3413 I heard Ed was going for Afon Ddu to really test the Factor
@@iandejuncker he's already got to Cowlyd KOM... Going to claim Afon Ddu and Cwm Eigiau so he's completed the whole Conwy Valley triple?
Well done Ed , you deserve everything that is happening for you . Factor must know a good thing when they see it . After Froomes comments about disc brakes , will you be using them ?
Every sponsored athelete will use disc brakes. Even in triathlon they use disc brakes even if they never touch the brakes. And the only reason for this is because disc brakes are more expensive. it does not matter they rub, are heavy and difficult to maintain. disc brakes = more money spent by cyclists, so this is the new standard. Impossible for a sponsored athelete to say no. But they should be honest, like Froome, and say disc brakes are not for road bikes
I like both to be honest. So if you want me to say don’t buy either then this isn’t the place😂
Fantastic news Ed, and wow!! What an honour….. to ride a Factor 👌👌
Putting 2+2 together and getting 6, have you joined that Phil gaimon team with Dylan Jawnson? 🤤
Still racing for myself😅
@@edlaverack excellent. You mention on your video about your discord channel. Can anyone join this?
@@antonyhunt9598 yep, discord.gg/JUzbnRQS
Never noticed in the video but did they suggest any departure from your previous/usual crank length?
Nope, same 172.5
BOIK FIT!!!
may i know u inseam and u saddle height bb to top
All I want to know is when do we get a discount code. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Froome and Dowsett have still not given us one haha
I was curious about your height and saddle height
I’m 177cm. Saddle height is 74.5
Must be so tough to wait for the bike. 😅
im here for a boik fit XD you from yorkshire?
Ey up!
Can we get a discount code in the discord channel?.... Edmode 1000 would be nice! Seriously -- Congrat's Ed'.
54 cm frame and 130mm stem for you?
120mm stem I think we went for in the end
@@edlaverack cool. Gettin the 02 vam rim
Brake version? 😎
@@SuperYobo disc version🙏🏼will be welcome with the plans on the horizon
Seems weird that there is no shifters.
Knew it was factor 😂
Why didn’t you say so!
Can you ask them to move closer to Leeds? Bike fitting is a mine field and with the cost you cannot afford to make a bad choice.
There is more to come from them, talk of potentially more locations throughout the U.K. when a bike is a big investment the fit is also important!
I just wouldn't trust a bike fitter to fit me right over my own self fit that I've honed over the years. I'm not very flexible and I'm certainly a micro absorber so I just don't think they'd nail it 100%
Becoming a cookie monster?
I had a knee pain for a month or two that i couldn’t shift with Cleat adjustments, I tried new dura ace pedals and it went away. Turns out the old shimano pedals had become worn lacked sufficient tension to keep my foot from twisting inwards and outwards on each pedal stroke.
